ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS

4. Slightly loosen the two fence adjusting bolts on the back
of the fence (Fig. 7 - arrows) with the included hex wrench.
Adjust the fence position until it is 90° with the blade.
Tighten the four bolts to secure the fence.
5. Make a test cut. Repeat step 4 until your test cut is ac-
curate.
SETTING THE MITER SCALE INDICATOR
1. Loosen the screw (Fig. 6 - 1) holding the miter scale
indicator.
2. Adjust the direction of the indicator (Fig. 6 - 2) so that
it accurately points to 0° on the miter scale. Tighten the
screw.
SQUARING THE TABLE WITH THE BLADE
To make accurate cuts, the table must be perpendicular to
the saw blade.
1. Lower the saw arm down to the lower position and lock
the release knob. See section titled, "Raising/Lowering the
Saw Arm" on page 12.
2. Slide the saw arm to the back and tighten the slide lock
knob. See section titled, "Setting Up Arm Slide" on page 12.
3. Set the miter scale indicator (Fig. 6 - 2) to 0° and tighten
the miter lock knob. Set the bevel angle indicator to 0° (Fig.
8 - 5) and tighten the bevel lock knob.
4. Place a combination square (not included) against the
table and alongside the saw blade (should be in contact
with the surface of the blade, not the teeth). Wearing work
gloves, rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-
table alignment at several points. The edge of the combina-
tion square and the saw blade should be parallel. If the saw
blade does not lay flush against the combination square,
follow steps 5 & 6 below.
5. Loosen the zero stop lock nut (Fig. 8 - 4) and adjust the
zero stop screw (Fig. 8 - 3) until the table is 90° with the
blade. Tighten the zero stop lock nut to secure the blade.
6. Make a test cut. Repeat step 5 until your test cut is ac-
curate.
WARNING:
To prevent serious injury, after
making any adjustments to the cutting angle,
make sure both sides of the fence are clear of
the blade's cutting path. With the power OFF,
move the blade through its full range of motion
to check this.
NOTE:
To adjust the 45° bevel stop screw, loosen the bevel adjustment nut (Fig. 8 - 1) and turn the bevel adjust-
ment screw (Fig. 8 - 6) using a hex wrench. Turn counterclockwise to increase the bevel and clockwise to decrease
the bevel. Tighten the nut after adjustment.
